Another good run-in with the dreaded 04' red Burgundy vintage, another wrong guess in a blind. Drank with the 04' Meo Brulees, which I thought was the better wine despite them both overcoming most of the vintage's greenness. This leans more on the rich side, more brooding, but still manages to remain juicy and mineral. Nose was perhaps less interesting than the Meo, and the oak still a little awkward at this stage. Finishes quite tart and long. I think time will bring it more balance. Nice wine, but not the style I prefer.
